Enabling Remote Boot - US Robotics USR8700 User Manual

Enabling Remote Boot

To enable remote boot:
1. In the Protected disk list on any page, select your system disk or partition.
If you protected multiple system disks or partitions, select the first system disk or partition on your com-
puter (typically Disk 0).
2. From the Action menu, click Enable Remote Boot.
The Enable Remote Boot dialog box displays a list of all the NICs on your computer.
3. Select the NIC that you need to use when remotely booting from the storage system.
4. Click Enable.
A message appears, advising you that your network connection will be temporarily interrupted.
5. Click Yes to allow the temporary network interruption. Your network connection will be restored imme-
diately after this process is complete.
On the Enable Remote Boot dialog box, the Details area shows the progress of the enabling proc-
ess. If any problems are encountered—for example, if the selected disk or partition was not your sys-
tem disk—that portion of the process is marked as Failed. You can click the plus sign next to the
process description to expand it and display an error message that explains exactly what happened.
6. When a message advises you that drivers will be installed, click OK.
7. If a window appears warning that the software has not passed Windows testing, continue with the
installation. USRobotics has thoroughly tested the operation of the software with Windows to ensure
its safe operation.
For Windows XP, click Continue Anyway.
